Kathleen A. Henry, age 86, passed away Sunday, March 3, 2024 in Hastings, Minnesota.
Kathleen Ann (Kasel) Henry was born in Hastings, MN on September 17th, 1937 to parents George Kasel and Katherine (Zeien) Kasel. The family consisted of 6 children, She was the only daughter. She was married in 1954 to Donald Ervin Henry, who preceded her in death after 46 years of marriage.
Like her mother, Kathleen became a talented seamstress for many brides and bridesmaids. Her tailoring skills became known amongst Hastings residents and local clothing stores. But this was not all that Kathleen accomplished. She could be considered the first DYI'er. If a chair or couch needed reupholstering, she could do that. She designed and helped build her and Donny's forever home. And when a bookshelf was needed in the kitchen, she took it upon herself to build one. Not only did she paint and wallpaper her own home, she was hired to apply these skill sets in other peoples homes, and passed the skills, like her mother before her, to her kids. She could whip up a wedding, birthday, Easter or any other special occasion cake, with her final masterpiece being the wedding cake for her granddaughter. Her family and friends enjoyed her fabulous cooking and baking. German potato salad and sour cream raisin pie were potluck favorites. Her decades-old KitchenAid mixer is a thing of legend. Don't forget the lefse! A traditional Norwegian flat bread., difficult to make but she met the challenge.
A Hawaiian trip was given to her and Don which led them to vacation for a month on the island of Oahu for 30 years. Even after her husband's death, her love of the island sent her back for several years.
She was a dedicated blood donor and volunteered at the Regina Hospital Gift Shop.
In the day, when the Minnesota Twins were hot, Kathleen enjoyed watching them on TV and attended a few games. Other sports she enjoyed were fishing, bowling.
Kathleen loved puzzles of all kinds. Crossword was a lifetime favorite and most recently jigsaw puzzles. They were sent to her on a regular basis and 22 had been completed within the past few months. One was on her dining room table partially assembled at the time of her death.
She is preceded in death by her husband, Donald, her parents George and Katherine, step-father Joe Weiler, brothers George, William, Bernard & Lawrence, daughter-in-law Kathy, and special friend Frank Ruberto..
Kathleen is survived by her loving family, daughters Vickie Haugen (Dean) and Lou Ann Sondag (Sid), son David Henry, grandchildren Melissa Stokes (Joshua) and Michael Schaffer (Kevin), and great grandchildren Caleb Stokes, Angela Stokes, Haylen Schaffer and brother Paul Kasel.

Robert (Bob) Lloyd Gessner passed away on Sunday, February 18, 2024, while vacationing in Destin, Florida. Bob died suddenly after suffering a cardiac event.
Bob was born on June 25, 1955, in Wabasha, MN to Lloyd and Eleanor (Klees) Gessner. He was raised on the family farm in Theilman, and graduated Plainview High School in 1973. He continued to work on the farm until 1981 when they moved to Plainview. He then worked in outside sales at various locations until his retirement.
In 1976 Bob met Nancy Olson of Millville. They were married in 1977 at St. Joachim church in Plainview. In 1989, they moved to Hastings, MN, where they raised their two sons. They enjoyed a happy and loving marriage for 46 years.
Bob and Nancy have two sons, Nick, and Chad. Nick and his wife Jess have two children, Lilah, and Leo. Chad and his wife Erin have a daughter, Harper. Bob was a fantastic father and grandfather. He spent many seasons coaching his son’s youth basketball and baseball teams. Bob treasured his time spent with his grandchildren. He rarely missed a sporting event, concert, or any other activity they were involved in. Every fall Bob and Nancy took their grandchildren on a mystery trip. They looked forward to it every year and the kids never knew where they were going until they got there.
Bob was involved in many things that he truly enjoyed. He happily planted gardens every spring and cared for many beautiful plants all summer long. He loved nature and being out in it. Bob was a lifelong Minnesota sports fan and lived through their ups and downs every season. Christmas was always Bob’s favorite holiday for many reasons. From putting up lights to Christmas Eve with his family to Christmas day with friends – he loved it all. Together, Bob and Nancy loved many past times. Traveling, visiting presidential libraries, road trips, playing cards and trying nachos everywhere they went, were some of the things they both looked forward to. Last but certainly not least was how much they loved their time at the cabin in Luck, Wisconsin. There were plenty of projects to do, but his absolute favorite was mowing the lawn. Bob always said it was a “two beer” job.
Bob is survived by his wife Nancy, his son Nick, daughter-in-law Jess, his son Chad, daughter-in-law Erin and grandchildren Lilah, Leo, and Harper Gessner all of Hastings. He is also survived by his four siblings, Mary Jane (Dave) Mullenbach, Marge (Stan) Johnson, Carol Kronebusch, and Steve (Sue) Gessner. He will also be missed by many nieces, nephews, and lots of cousins on both sides of his family. Bob always thought he could name all his cousins, but realistically he could not. Bob was preceded in death by his parents, brother Larry, sister Kathleen, and her husband Reg Lammers. Bob was a very loving, kind, and gentle person. He was quick to help both family, friends, and to consider their needs before his.
A Celebration of Bob’s Life will be held from 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. on Saturday March 16, 2024, at Starkson Family Life Celebration Chapel, 3075 Vermillion Street, Hastings, MN.
In lieu of flowers Bob’s family suggests donations to Hastings Girls Fast Pitch Softball, Hastings Wrestling, or St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic school. These were chosen in honor of each of his grandchildren.
Blessed be Bob’s memory.

Judy (Marzen) Seleski, age 76 of Hastings, passed away January 29, 2024 at Hastings Senior Living Center (Augustana) with her family by her side. Judy was born April 10th, 1947 in Hastings to Theresa (Holzmer) and Bernard Marzen. She married James “Boldy” Seleski on July 28th, 1968. They had four children: Jill, Joanne, Jeffery and Jimmy.
Judy suffered a life-altering stroke October 9th, 2018. Her family and friends were lucky enough to have five bonus years with her. Through it all she kept a positive attitude, was still herself, had a sense of humor and kept everyone on their toes until the end.
Judy taught her family so much. A few of those things were: to always look for the positives, to see the big picture, and that it will all work out. She never judged anyone, accepted you for who you were, was nice to everyone, included everyone “the more the merrier”, and loved to entertain and host anything, at any time, at the home she loved so much. She was forgiving, loving, kind, thoughtful, and funny. She always said “Those who know me, love me. Those who don’t, wish they did.” Once you knew Judy, you were considered family.
Judy made the most of life. She was always busy doing one thing or another. She loved to travel with anyone that would go with her or even alone. She achieved anything she set her mind to. She owned Balloons Galore, bought a convertible, had a camper, learned to drive a motorcycle, bought a cabin on Little Blake Lake in Luck, WI, travelled to Peru and all over the United States.
Judy worked as a nurse for 50 years. She retired from the Hastings Minnesota Veteran’s home in 2012. She started her career at Devine Redeemer in South St Paul, was a hospice nurse, did in-home health care, worked at Augustana nursing home, worked at Detox, and was the nurse at a boy’s teen drug rehabilitation center in St Paul. She loved her job! She cared for many, many people through the years and gave every single one of them the loving care they deserved.
Judy was an incredible grandma and nana. She loved her grandsons and her one little “polish princess” more than anything in life. Judy was able to spend one last Christmas with all of her grandchildren and two great-grandsons. Spending time with her great-grandsons was very special to her and she didn’t want to let go. She loved having her time alone with them so she could do anything she wanted. Really not a lot of rules with Nana/Grandma Jude! We had to
“de-grandmatize” them when she brought them back. She took them camping in her old camper to Lake Elmo, fishing, to the cabin, out on the pontoon, to any free event she could find, the Eagle Center, Crystal Caves, look at the Charlie Brown Statues in St Paul, out to eat (especially to Chinese buffets!), swimming at the Country Inn (it was cheaper than the waterpark), she read to them, helped them with their homework, went to their sporting events and so much more. She taught them not to have a care in the world!
Judy was the glue that held our family together. She made sure we knew our family and the importance of family near and far- in Pennsylvania, where her dad was from and right here at home. She loved being in PA and created so many memories for us all. She always wanted family around. We spent most of our holidays with our family here, she always hosted and there was always too much food! Food. I guess you could maybe say that was one of her “hobbies”. She said, “Where there’s Jude, there’s food.”
Judy’s friends meant the world to her. She had so many good friends that she had a tremendous amount of fun with. We don’t remember how many different groups of friends she had but we do remember how much she loved them and loved being with them all. The giggles and adventures you all had together were priceless. Garage sales, thrift shops (Judy definitely thrived on a “good deal” regardless if she needed it or not), Bible study, Al-Anon, Birthday months, inviting herself if she wasn’t invited, Super Bowl parties, holiday parties, traveling, Class of ’65 Reunion Crew… I know we are missing some, but you all were hard to keep up with!
Another one of Judy’s hobbies was decorating. She decorated for EVERYTHING!! And not just a little something here or there- every room! Christmas was her favorite. She loved it so much she often times kept her tree up year-round… so, yes, she decorated her tree for each season as well! Easter tree, 4th of July tree, fall tree, Halloween tree, St Patrick’s Day tree, Memorial/Labor Day tree, Valentine’s Day tree, Thanksgiving tree, Winter, Spring, Summer and anything else she could think of.
Thank you to all of those that took care of Judy these last 5 years, 3 of which were at Hastings Senior Living (Augustana). Although Judy lost the ability to use her words, she still communicated! Once you made a connection with her, she won you over with her beautiful smile, kind heart and great sense of humor. Thank you to all of those that took the time to give Judy the care she gave to so many others. Thank you for connecting with her the way some of you did. I hope you know how meaningful it is to see our mom get the care she deserved and more. Some of you loved her like you would your own mom. She knew. She loved you just as much.
Thank you to all those that were a part of Judy’s life. You made her life worth living.
Judy’s angels were waiting for her. Her parents, Theresa (Holzmer) and Bernard Marzen, Jim “Boldy” Seleski, aunts, uncles and cousins from Pennsylvania and Minnesota.
She is survived by her brother, Jerry (Char) Marzen; children, Jill (Jay) Miller, Joanne (Pete) Teigland, Jeffery (Ann Suby) Seleski, James “Jimmy” (Erica) Seleski; grandchildren, Jake (Hanna) O’Brien, Ben and John Teigland, Hunter and Cortlynn Seleski; great-grandsons, Odin and Griffin O’Brien; nieces, Amy (Dan) Cranston, Deanna (Eric) McBeath; nephews, BJ (Becky) Marzen, Jake (Carolyn) Marzen, cousin, Karleen Schlapkohl; special friend, Tom Fox and many more cousins and great nieces and nephews.
A Mass of Christian Burial to celebrate Judy’s life will be held on Monday, February 12, 2024, at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church, 2035 W. 15th St, Hastings, MN, at 12:00 PM with a visitation two hours prior. The Burial will take place at a later date.
